News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

[correcaminos]

Let's all agree we got lied to in a sales ploy and now they have our money (or will be guaranteed to get it), so we now have two choices:

Make the money a complete waste and ensure the liars don't get any more money by not going ever again

Go to Disney, land of Liar Scum Management, and give them more of our money and pretend we are having a great time (yes, fantasy,) and forget the bad people who get the money.

The choice is yours.

Its only money...

Option 3 for me is I renewed a week before they even opened to DVC so.... nope get use out of my pass. Tron was super cool to ride on too using said pass.

 

[defaultparkguest1]

Cool conspiracy, friend.

Do you not see where they kept spamming that passes were anticipated to sell out?

 

[defaultparkguest1]

I’ll take option 3: enjoy my pass with my wife.

Tell me how this is different than option 2.

Being wrong doesn't mean they were lying.

Let's not agree. If sales were what they expected, there certainly was a possibility of selling out the internal limit that WDW set. So, with that in the back of your mind, Where did they lie?

People always have a choice not to buy. If one makes that choice, Disney doesn't get their money. Disney is not guaranteed to get anyone's money.

People also have a choice to buy a pass and if they do, they will most likely have a good time or else, why would one buy them. If one does buy an AP, they know what they are paying and how much they plan on using it. They also know what the conditions of use are at the time of purchase.

While I believe the entire Walt Disney Company e suite doesn't have a clue on how to look to the future for the parks (their cash cow), liar, scum management is not the correct term to use. Short sighted, greed driven do anything to make a buck management is probably a much better term to use.

Short-sighted, Money Grabbing might work....

I'm not a big DVC fan, but this seems a little harsh.

I'm lost, how were we lied too?

 

[gorillaball]

Did they use the word "anticipated"? honest question.
Quite different than "are limited and may be suspended at any time". If they didn't say the latter then how outraged would people be when they are suspended if not warned in advance.

They did. As first day sales had a long wait in the virtual queue they did say they anticipated one or more to sell out that day. I think they put that in when they put the message up they were suspending sales at 11pm and would restart at 7 or whatever the next morning.

But, I just think everyone who wanted them rushed that day and got them. Then there was no more interest because a lot of people had enough under Chapek, no Trams, Covid removals, the new pass prices and add ons, and the fact they weren’t available for purchase for so long. For those of us who love Disney and all it’s culture, there’s probably 3 or 4 for every one of us who could just say to heck with you and move on with their life.

[Disstevefan1]

Just checking in. Is WDW still selling all levels of APs at the moment, or did they stop again?

All tiers of Walt Disney World Annual Passes are still available for purchase.

What are the blackout dates on the Hall Pass?

 

[TTA94]

If someone got passes on the monthly payment plan does the payments start on original purchase date and then that same date each month or do the payments start on the date that you first use the passes?

You pay the first month when you buy the pass if I remember correctly.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Don’t agree. For all we know the passes are limited but after the initial mad rush, demand dissipated because so many gave them the middle finger after the years of being walked all over and not even having them available. Not saying that’s what happened but it is a possibility.

I think they probably had a cap…but knew damn well their “unprecedented demand” wasn’t there.

They floated a supply crunch…to sell…as they are charged to do…and people had to jump or play it out.

They did suck up the Covid cash for as long as they could at full price and mid finger the loyal people for 3 years.
They’ll be a lot of Disney sycs that will argue the last point…but crap a side they did. Not even sure I disagree with it…but we should agree on it.

Cool conspiracy, friend.

Yeah…not a conspiracy…

The DID say “limited availability” on all their releases.

Nobody got “scammed”…but they subtly put a layer of pressure on there that benefited them.

It’s up to everyone to judge if it matters? You got your pass…and if you “jumped” and didn’t want to spend the money, my analysis is you didn’t really want it or couldn’t afford it in the first place?

Don’t really see too much “one sided” argument here.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

They’re asking what date the payments hit?

I’ve never been more happy to say it’s not an option for me
